It is a known fact that any photo of a beautiful man can be greatly enhanced by the addition of a puppy, so it’s only natural that Abercrombie & Fitch has gone to the dogs for their 2013 “back to school” ad campaign.

In case you can’t tell, they’re supposedly promoting the new A&F Jeans Collection, which from the looks of it are still covered in bleach spots, rips, and gaping holes.

Mike Jeffries, company Chairman & CEO, is extremely excited about paying these thin celebrities to wear his clothes, because he discovered them first and you can’t say anything to the contrary or else you’re fired:

“Identifying talent during the early stages of their careers has been something we have always been excited to be a part of. We enjoyed working with these 11 actors selected for this campaign and look forward to watching them flourish in their careers.”

So here they are! Who wore these distressed A&F jeans best?

Alexander Ludwig:

Jacob Artist:

Scott Eastwood:

Alex Kaluzhsky:

TaylorHandley, who has a hard time looking cute in anything since trying to murder Ryan and Marissa on The OC. But this works:

Seriously Queerty, who is sucking your collective dicks to have you promote Abercrombie & Fitch shit. Maybe you are hoping that your target market will forget about CEO Mike Jeffries comments recently. Maybe you think that your Twenty Something Audience is trivial and frivolous. You are wrong on both accounts.

Young men and puppies don’t make a companies image issues disappear…only articles like this one. Anti-discrimination Queerty is presently not!

I won’t click on outrageous, but I don’t hate the pics either. I think Alexader Ludwig looks great. I don’t remember him looking that muscular. Other than more variety in the responses, these look good to me. Pics of guys. And actually, Scott, the only one showing a lot of skin is Ludwig. Everyone else is buttoned and zipped. Have fun with it. Move on if you don’t like it. Don’t get gray hairs over it. ;)
